Emergy ecological footprint method considering uncertainty and its application in evaluating marine ranching resources and environmental carrying capacity

Yuan-Wei Du et al.

Summary: The emergy ecological footprint method is an effective tool for evaluating resources and environmental carrying capacity (RECC), but its calculation uncertainty reduces the credibility of evaluation results. This study proposed a modified emergy ecological footprint method considering uncertainty and applied it to the evaluation of marine ranching in Yantai, China.

Research on ecological evaluation of Shanghai port logistics based on emergy ecological footprint models

Benkai Xie et al.

Summary: With the rapid development of China's port logistics industry due to economic globalization, concerns over increasing energy consumption and pollution emissions have prompted the need for ecological analysis. This study applies the theory of emergy analysis to improve the traditional calculation method of ecological footprint, and constructs an emergy-ecological footprint (EEF) model specifically for port logistics. By studying the ecological situation of Shanghai port logistics from 2009 to 2018, it is found that the energy footprint and pollution footprint are the major components of the ecological footprint. Despite the positive impact of port water logistics on natural resource development and ecological carrying capacity, Shanghai's port logistics still faces an ecological deficit. The study provides strategies and suggestions to improve the ecological situation, focusing on regulations, port facilities, collection and distribution structure, and awareness promotion. The findings not only contribute to the development of Shanghai's green port logistics but also provide valuable insights for other green ports.

Ecological carrying capacity and sustainability assessment for coastal zones: A novel framework based on spatial scene and three-dimensional ecological footprint model

Yuzhi Tang et al.

Summary: The assessment of ecological carrying capacity (ECC) is crucial for sustainable coastal management. This study proposes a new framework, based on the concept of spatial scene, to assess the coastal ECC. The framework shows higher correlations with economic indicators and provides a better reflection of the economic development status, energy consumption structure, and marine economic development modes compared to traditional methods.

The status of marine debris/litter and plastic pollution in the Caribbean Large Marine Ecosystem (CLME): 1980-2020

La Daana K. Kanhai et al.

Summary: Plastic pollution is a persistent issue in the Caribbean Large Marine Ecosystem (CLME), originating from land and marine-based sources. Rivers and oceanic currents play important roles in the transport of plastic debris. Plastic debris poses a threat to the biodiversity of the CLME with specific negative effects.

The nexus between human development and fishing footprint among mediterranean countries

Durmus Cagri Yildirim et al.

Summary: Human activities have caused damage to environmental quality and biodiversity in the past few decades. Sustainable development requires a balance between economic, social, and environmental issues over the long term. Ecological footprint and human capital are important indicators for assessing environmental quality and economic development level. This study found that human capital has a negative effect on sustainability at lower levels, but a positive effect at higher levels.

A study on the marine ecological security assessment of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Great Bay Area

Le-hua Gao et al.

Summary: The construction of the world-class Bay in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Great Bay Area poses a risk to the marine ecology. The study reveals that the marine ecological pressure in the area has not been reversed in the past 20 years, with most cities experiencing a coexistence of socio-economic development and marine ecological damage. In some cities, such as Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Dongguan, and Zhongshan, the damaged marine ecology is starting to impede further economic and social expansion. The concentration of population in Hong Kong, Macao, and other places has caused significant stress on the marine ecology. Urgent actions are needed to improve marine ecological security through the cultivation of ecological industrial systems and clusters, establishment of land-sea ecological restoration, and promotion of joint-protection and co-governance across different administrative regions.

Exploring the governance dilemma of nuclear wastewater in Fukushima: A tripartite evolutionary game model

Lang Xu et al.

Summary: Research shows that the tripartite evolutionary game involving the International Atomic Energy Agency, discharge countries, and Japanese Fisheries Associations has a high degree of interdependence, with the environment-oriented international organization possibly compelling discharge countries to take strict compliance measures. A stable evolutionary equilibrium requires the International Atomic Energy Agency to coordinate the interests of discharge countries and Japanese Fisheries Associations to ensure marine sustainability.

Kedong Yin et al.

Summary: Strategic emerging marine industries have become a new economic growth pole globally, with countries seeking to transform their land economy into a marine economy. This study examines the impact of market cultivation on the supply efficiency of China's marine strategic emerging industry system and finds that it inhibits institutional supply efficiency. Therefore, government funding support is still necessary for the development of China's strategic emerging marine industries.

A path towards environmental sustainability: The role of clean energy and democracy in ecological footprint of Pakistan

Zahoor Ahmed et al.

Summary: Political institutions, especially democracy, play a significant role in shaping a country's environmental footprints. This empirical study investigates the impact of democracy on the ecological footprint (EF) in Pakistan, a country where strict policies have weakened democracy and climate change has had severe consequences. By employing the Augmented ARDL (AARDL) approach and considering population density, clean energy, and economic growth, the study finds a negative association between democracy and EF in the long run. The results also support the Environment Kuznets Curve hypothesis when democracy is taken into account. Additionally, the study highlights the mitigating impact of clean energy on EF and the exacerbating effect of population density. Furthermore, the study applies a causality test based on AARDL, revealing causal relationships between most regressors and EF. Detailed policy implications are provided as well.
